OUTshine LGBTQ+ Film Festival Spring Edition

OUTshine Film Festival 6360 NE 4th Court, Miami, FL, United States

The OUTshine LGBTQ+ Film Festival spring edition returns April 17 – May 4! Internationally acclaimed as one of the largest LGBTQ+ cultural festivals in the world, this season’s OUTshine line-up hits Miami-Dade and Broward counties with thought-provoking, inspiring, entertaining and educational star-studded features, documentaries and shorts including premieres from 20 countries.

On Swift Horses (USA, 2025) will open the spring festival on Thursday, April 17, at 7 p.m., at Regal Cinemas South Beach (1120 Lincoln Road Mall, Miami Beach). Set in the 1950s, this adaptation of Shannon Pufahl’s 2019 novel follows a seemingly sensible newlywed Muriel (Daisy Edgar-Jones) and her wayward brother-in-law (Jacob Elordi) as they undertake parallel journeys of risk, romance, and self-discovery. Directed by Daniel Minahan, the film also stars Will Poulter and Diego Calva. An afterparty at The Rum Room will take place after the screening.

The following evening honors Latin filmmaking with the Noche Latina East Coast premiere of Fine Young Men (Hombres Integros) (Mexico, 2024) at 7:15 p.m. at Regal Cinemas South Beach. Directed by Alejandro Andrade Pease, this coming-of-age drama about identity follows Alf, a student at a strict Catholic school, who finds himself drawn to Oliver, a charismatic new classmate. An afterparty at Twisted Tonic Rooftop will follow.

This edition, OUTshine has expanded its Men’s and Ladies Spotlight Films to both counties. On April 19, the Ladies Spotlight Sisters (Canada, 2024), a heartfelt tale of love, identity, and belonging, and the Men’s Spotlight North American premiere of Streets of Gloria (Ruas da Gloria) (Brazil, 2024), a bold, sultry exploration of love and desire, will screen beginning at 7 p.m. at Regal Cinemas South Beach. The afterparties will follow at The Greystone Hotel. On April 26, Hot Milk (United Kingdom, 2025), an emotional family drama set amidst picturesque Almería, Spain, will screen for the ladies and Midas Man (UK, 2024) starring Jacob Fortune-Lloyd as Brian Epstein, the visionary who shaped music history by launching The Beatles' meteoric rise, will screen for the men beginning at 7:30 p.m. at Paradigm Cinemas: Gateway Fort Lauderdale (1820 E Sunrise Blvd.). Afterparties will take place at The Well and LIT.

On April 23, OUTshine presents its South Florida Shorts Showcase with a special Cocktails & Cinema™ reception at 7 p.m. at O Cinema South Beach (1130 Washington Ave., Miami Beach). Celebrate queer South Florida filmmakers, actors and film crews - from students to seasoned veterans of the industry. A Q&A plus a Tito’s Vodka open-bar afterparty will follow.

Accidental Friends (Amici Per Caso) (Italy, 2024), an international premiere and this season’s Centerpiece Film, screens at 7:30 p.m. on April 24 at Regal Dania Pointe (128 Sunset Dr, Dania Beach). In this Odd Couple-style comedy, directed by Max Nardari, two roommates with contrasting lifestyles must cohabitate despite their differences. An afterparty will follow at Bowlero.

Capitalizing on that sentiment, OUTshine is proud to present the world premiere of the documentary Latter-Day Glory: The Aftermath of Growing Up Queer in the LDS Church (USA, 2025). Directors Brandon Deyette and Chucho E. Quintero follow two queer ex-Mormon missionaries embarking on a transformative journey across America, uncovering the devastating effects of religious dogma on LGBTQ+ members of the LDS Church.

This season’s North American premieres include the dramatic thriller Queerpanorama (USA/Hong Kong/China, 2025), Becoming Ana (La Mitad de Ana) (Spain, 2024), To Live, To Die, To Live Again (Vivre Mourir Renaitre) (France, 2024), Blue For A Boy (Azul de Nino) (Spain, 2024), Some Nights I Feel Like Walking (Mõnel õhtul tahaksin jalutada) (Philippines/Italy/Singapore, 2025) and All For One (France/Belgium, 2025).

Other premieres include the first U.S showings of Who Wants To Marry An Astronaut? (Argentina, 2024) and A Night Like This (UK, 2025).

The April 27 closing night film will be Four Mothers (Ireland/United Kingdom, 2024) at Savor Cinema (503 SE 6th St., Fort Lauderdale). Directed by Darren Thorton, this comedy centers on a shy, commitment-phobic gay novelist who is tasked with caring for four eccentric, combative and wildly different women. The awards night soiree will immediately follow.

OUTshine At-Home viewing will be available from April 28 – May 4. OUTrageous, OUTspoken, and OUTstanding, this year’s OUTshine LGBTQ+ Film Festival fall edition is Presented by Gilead.

On The Wings of Hermès: A Poetic and Cinematic Performance

The Hangar at Regatta Harbour 3385 Pan American Drive, Miami, FL, United States
HERMÈS PRESENTS “ON THE WINGS OF HERMÈS”, A POETIC AND CINEMATOGRAPHIC PERFORMANCE THAT WILL OPEN ITS DOORS ON APRIL 18 AT THE HANGAR AT REGATTA HARBOUR Hermès invites the audience to travel to an imaginary universe created for the house by Belgian duo, director Jaco Van Dormael and choreographer Michèle Anne De Mey, together with the Astragales dance company. The performance is an invitation to take flight and see your dreams take shape in an ode to oneirism. “This work metaphorically illustrates the lightness that is omnipresent at Hermès: in the delicate hands of our craftsmen sewing with two needles at once; in the elegance of materials, and in the subtle notes of a perfume. It is an experience which sparks the imagination, designed by artisans of dreams,” says Pierre-Alexis Dumas, Hermès Artistic Director. In the darkness of a vast space that resembles a film studio, seven sketches reveal, one after another, the fable of Pegasus, the mythical winged horse, and his seven foals. In a performance which blends together dance, a theatre of objects, music and cinema, visitors discover a tale through seven performances, each with its own backdrop; landscapes and utopic worlds where poetic figurines and Hermès objects come alive, like graceful puppets, in a choreography of twirling hands. Dancers and choreographers work together with image and lighting techni- cians in a magical extravaganza. A mini circus; a humorous opera sung by a cast of Hermès “Kelly” bags; a lyrical flight of interlacing gloves; a dance sequence depicting two entwined lovers, carried away by the wind into a bright blue sky... Captured in real time by Jaco Van Dormael, the scenes are projected onto a giant screen, recreating the magic of the illusion. After performances in Los Angeles, Hong Kong, Shanghai, and Singapore, the world tour of this original creation lands in Miami with an experience that appeals to the senses and embodies the playful, lighthearted spirit of Hermès. Performances of On the Wings of Hermès will be available from April 18 to 27, 2025 (closed on April 21) at The Hangar at Regatta Harbour (3385 Pan American Drive, Miami, FL 33133). Shows begin promptly at 2:00pm, 4:00pm, and 7:00pm. Doors open 30 minutes before showtimes. Free admission by registration is available at Hermes.com/wings. #ONTHEWINGSOFHERMES
